Malice

MaliceMalice by Keigo Higashino
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Its a thriller where the killer gets caught mid-way thru the book, the next quarter is about establishing his motives. What then forms the last quarter of the book? One has to read to understand the twists and turns the book goes through.
Guess Mr.Higashino has figured a way out to keep me enticed with anything he writes :)

Origin

Origin (Robert Langdon, #5)Origin by Dan Brown
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Where do we come from? Where are we going?

The fundamental questions that plague humankind forms the basis of this thriller. It has all the Dan Brown ingredients - code, history, religion and an elusive mastermind killer.

Edmond Kirsch is technology's prodigal son. He is killed just when he is about to make the announcement that he promises would change the world. Its left to Robert Langdon and curator Ambra Vidal to get the secret to people. Ambra is the fiance of Spain's prince who is also a prime suspect for Kirsch's murder.

Combining history with todays keywords of AI, qunatum computing, etc Dan Brown has created a fast paced thriller.
